This weekend was our off weekend for our D&D group but we were not without some D&D. Tyr and I have two children and the oldest is six. When we play he watches us intently and has been asking to play for a while now. We let him pick out a dice set at the local shop and I designed a mini-quest suitable for such a young player. It’s a very simple straightforward quest designed mostly for hacking and slashing and it moves along quickly to keep him engaged. I’m actually quite impressed with my little Moon Elf Druid (his choices), he really is paying attention when he watches us play. In addition to the fun, it also reinforces reading and math skills.
